Based on the provided information, we can conclude that the difference in landing times is likely due to factors such as air resistance and surface area rather than mass. In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass.
Since Object 1 takes longer to land than Object 2, it is reasonable to conclude that Object 1 has more surface area, contributing to greater air resistance.
Thus, the correct response is:
Object 1 has more surface area than Object 2.
